Trade badges + other question

War Hero

Reading in latest Soldier the series on badges of the British Army and it covers the crossed flags signal trade badge. Gives location on how it should beworn etc, just a thought why have we in the RAC never really bothered with trade badges.

Second one, for serving members do we use Line of departure or Start line therse days? this due to a argument that the former is in and the latter is out

Because those in the trade know how good they are/where and do not need a badge to show it and gungery instructors looked bad enogh with their arm bands on without have to 120mm cannons straped to their arm

Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.
